Cool Retro Gear

With the slew of links and zines lately on retro and cocktail culture, you might be wondering "How can I be part of that whole thang." Well I've got the answer for you!

I'll point you too the killer diller on line retro clothes, accessories, shoes, music, furniture, and more. You could be a cool retro cat or kitten with just a few clicks of the mouse!

This week, we'll cover retro clothing and accessories sites. I have to admit, I am a little biased - most of the sites are gearded toward women's togs, but some do have men's clothes or links to men's clothing sites.

So let's get started, from the ground up so to speak:

Delicates and Underthings
Trashy Lingerie has just that, but if you look a little deeper you can find great retro repro finds like tap pants, carters style panties, and ruffle seat panties - all of which look great under swing clothing! .

General Retro Clothing Sites
Kitty Girl Vintage Clothing.
Sales, New additions updated frequently, reasonable prices, and good clear pics and descrips of everything for sale. Well organized site - you can find men's stuff here too. http://www.kittygirlvintage.com/

Glamour Girl 1930 Vintage
I found the greatest 1940s white on black eyelet dress on this site AND a 1940s hair bow still in original package - dirt cheap. This site's the coolest. Has a featured item every week, many pics and descrips, a Bargain Basement (gotta love that) and clothing broken down by period. A must see for retro glamour girls! http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/glamourgir...
Here's a pic of my white eyelet dress: http://www.suite101.com/files/topics/399...
